I've never been able to get it to work, and it didn't really
even seem like a good idea, to begin with.

This is what I use. It has some warts, but it's lightweight and
works pretty well. I've never used the curses flavor, but
there's a pure commandline client which works rather nicely and
a fairly lightweight gtk client.

The wicd commandline client would integrate with dwm nicely. I
wouldn't necessarily recommend a purely custom solution, but I
used to do the wpa-supplicant configuration manually and switch
between profiles with scripts. It's not that difficult.
